No one ever did that for me before.

Although it’s probably somewhat naive of me to think that my article could actually win-over any of the Darwin haters out there, this was in fact, one of my intentions. However, you obviously make my article appear much more inflammatory and polarizing in that regard. Although I’m not certain how it will play out, I currently consider it unfortunate. But thanks anyway for re-publishing my article in your magazine. There can be no doubt that for periods of time exceeding the lifespans of individuals, the only thing that distinguishes living from non-living matter is Darwinian evolution. In the long run, life is simply matter that evolves. I think it’s quite inspiring.
